Ariel Di Lisio
During his childhood, Di Lisio spent his time flipping through magazines and staring at street posters, his attention fixed on the form of letters, the details of each character.
The foretelling of an unnamed yet known at-first-sight romance with typography that ensued.
Di Lisio earned a BA in Graphic Design from University of Buenos Aires and then worked from 1993-1997 in Puma. In 2009 his work was selected for the Lubalin Now Exhibition Center of Design and Typography at Cooper Union, NY.
A recurrent guest professor at CEDIM and UDEM in Monterrey, since 2015 he’s a faculty member of FADU-UBA’s Branding Graduate Program.
Aldo Arillo
Growing up in the Northern Mexico desert, Arillo refuged himself from the heat in his father’s studio, gazing at books, piling them up. Instead of taking up writing like his father, he was transfixed by the letterforms imprint on the books’ covers, carrying out a continuous trace of each of their forms.
In 2012 Arillo earned a BA in Graphic Communication at CEDIM graduating SummaCum Laude, pursuing soon afterwards his MA in Typography at FADU-UBA in Argentina.
He has been a speaker at Tipografía México, Typostammtisch Berlin and Typecon and is currently part of the Typography and Architecture faculty at his alma mater. His typographic studies, displays and innovations have been part of institutional exhibitions such as Museo MARCO and Museo Franz Mayer.
